Chapter 222: Zugai's Worries

Zu Ti looked at Zu Gai and Xu Xian's reactions, a little unclear why, although he also felt that the statement in this letter was a little strange, but was it too much to say that there was fraud?

Seeing Zu Yi's confused look, Zu Ying did not rush to explain, but said to Xu Yan: "Fifth brother, you tell us what you think first."

"No, big brother!" After Xu Xian replied to Zu Cai, he sorted out the thoughts in his heart a little, and then said slowly to Zu Gai and Zu Qi: "First, this letter said that only small-scale Huns were encountered, what I don't understand is that Tongguan is so dangerous, how dare small-scale Huns easily provoke?" Second, what we learned from He Lun's mouth and his subordinates that Hangu Pass was broken is consistent, and Hangu Pass is not a small pass, so it seems that the Huns who can break through Hangu Pass should not be small-scale people, but should be the Hun army that we have always thought! Third, neither the seal on the letter nor Zhang Dan's handwriting can prove that it must be Zhang Dan's handwriting, and it is very likely that someone else wrote it! In the end, it did not take much time for the Huns to break through Hangu Pass and march all the way to Tongguan, which should be in urgent need of reinforcements, but why was the reaction in the letter so bland? Why do you want us to stay here? It's weird! Are you worried that we are Hun fakes? I think if they really have doubts, they should also set us a goal first, let us do the consumption first, so that it is reasonable! ”

"Well, what the fifth brother said is true, third brother, you don't know that after we were stationed in Taiyao Town, there are obvious traces of the army's actions here, I think we should send a probe horse to explore the surroundings of Tongguan, especially to see if there are traces of large-scale battles or a large number of horseshoe prints on the ground, if it is found, this letter must be fraudulent!"

"But, eldest brother, fifth brother, if there is fraud, they should trick us to Tongguan, wouldn't it be better?"

"Not necessarily, third brother, they can completely stabilize us, and then attack us with cavalry by surprise!"

"Big brother, are you so sure that Tongguan has been lost?"

"I'm not sure, but most of them have fallen!"

"Third brother, I also agree with the judgment of the eldest brother, it is very likely that Tongguan has been lost!"

Zu Ti became a little silent, if Tongguan has been lost, then his men and horses are now exposed to the enemy, and it is even possible that the enemy has sent men and horses to attack him at the same time as replying to the letter, and he must now make a decision immediately!

"Big brother, fifth brother, I'll go and arrange for the people to evacuate this place now and move towards Anle Township!"

"Hmm...... Anle Township is directly south of Tongguan, they shouldn't have thought that we would go there, okay, let's go to Anle Township, and then send scouts everywhere to reconnoitre, if it is really as we expected, the enemy army should come to attack us immediately, without further ado, we will leave now! ”

"Okay, eldest brother, third brother, I'll go and find those clansmen of our two clans who haven't arrived yet, and inform them to change their route!"

"Well, that's very good, the fifth brother will work hard for you, my third brother and I will go and arrange the matter of sending troops to Anle Township now, and you should go back quickly!"

"No!"

Throughout the night, the Tanma arranged by Zu Ti in Taiyao Town did not find any enemy troops from the direction of Tongguan, and not even a single figure appeared around......

Anle Township, in the big tent of the ancestors

Both Zu Ti and Zu Gai felt a little incredible, not only did they not send a single soldier to attack Taiyao Town in the direction of Tongguan, but they didn't even send a single scout horse to reconnoiter their own side, which was really incredible, but this could not prove that Zu Gai and Xu Xian's previous guess was wrong, so Zu Ti and Zu Gai both fell into deep thought.

Zu Ti broke the silence first and asked, "Big brother, is it because they don't have the idea of attacking us yet?" ”

"It shouldn't be, I believe that Xu Xian's judgment and I are correct, now I'll wait for the Tanma sent to Daiziying Township and Tongguan to come back and see what the situation is."

"Well, I have to do this first, big brother, who do you say took Tongguan?"

"Hey, Tongguan is such a natural risk, I also hope that my judgment and that of the fifth brother are wrong, but I have no way to explain our previous doubts, so we must consider the worst possible, I think the only one who can take Tongguan so easily is the Huns from the north of Tongguan!"

"Big brother, are you saying that there is another group of Huns who crossed the Yellow River from Fengling and directly attacked Tongguan?"

"Yes, by surprise, maybe there was a situation in Tongguan that we didn't know, so that the Huns had a chance to seize Tongguan in one fell swoop!"

"Shall we not be at war with our backs? If the Huns who entered the pass all the way from Luoyang also appeared, we ......"

"Lone army, we are already lonely, third brother, the eldest brother doesn't blame you for King Qin's original intention, but this time it is really too hasty!"

"Big brother, the family and country are unfortunate, the Huns are plundering, how can we stand by and watch?!"

"Big brother didn't object to you sending troops, hey, now it's only one step at a time! Ahem! ”

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's a little hard all the way, and I occasionally contracted a little wind chill, and it will be fine in a few days!"

"Big Brother ......"

"Okay, the second brother has already sent me some medicine to treat wind and cold today, you can rest assured, step up the training of men and horses, I think it won't be long before we will fight the Huns!"

"Well, big brother, you should rest early, Shizhi will go and arrange this matter with the generals."

Zu should have breathed a sigh of relief after watching Zu Ti leave, and then the cough intensified.

After coughing for a while, Zu Cai slowly calmed down, but his face had become pale and weak......

Zu should find that I don't know what's wrong recently, I always have a slight fever, and then I am very afraid of cold, and my body is very easy to get tired, but there are no other uncomfortable symptoms.

Zu Cai shook his head slightly, trying his best to concentrate on his thoughts, he has too many things to do, too many plans to arrange, his brothers, especially Zu Na's second brother, although he has the ability, but he is too high, but he is a concubine, and his personality is not compatible with Zu Cai's brothers, but as the eldest brother, he loves this younger brother the most, because he has an amazing talent in the quartermaster's office, basically he can complete whatever materials he asks, Even in some very harsh situations, he can try his best to meet his various planning needs, and such a talent can only be compared to Gu Zhixiao! Therefore, as long as Zuna is used well, he will be an indispensable mainstay of the Zu family! But Zuna's character is really a headache, if he doesn't beat this kid well, it will really hurt him.

Especially Zu should know that he is already old, coupled with this constant march, his body is really a little unbearable, just like in the last few days, he will feel tired without doing anything, and he is really a little lacking in energy......

Thinking of this, Zu Cai did not hesitate any longer, and after putting another thick coat on his body, he went to the quartermaster where Zuna was.
